Project description:Emerging work has demonstrated that histologically normal (non-tumor) tissue adjacent to breast tumor tissue shows evidence of molecular alterations related to tumorigenesis, referred to as field cancerization effects. Although changes in DNA methylation are known to occur early in breast carcinogenesis and the landscape of breast tumor DNA methylation is profoundly altered compared with normal tissue, there have been limited efforts to identify DNA methylation field cancerization effects in histologically normal breast tissue adjacent to tumor. Matched tumor, histologically normal tissue of the ipsilateral breast (ipsilateral-normal), and histologically normal tissue of the contralateral breast (contralateral-normal) were obtained from nine women undergoing bilateral mastectomy. Laser capture microdissection was used to select breast epithelial cells from normal tissues, and neoplastic cells from tumor specimens for genome-scale measures of DNA methylation with the Illumina HumanMethylationEPIC array. We identified substantially more CpG loci that were differentially methylated between contralateral-normal breast and tumor tissue (63,271 CpG loci q < 0.01), than between ipsilateral-normal tissue and tumor (38,346 CpG loci q < 0.01). In addition, we identified differential methylation in ipsilateral-normal relative to contralateral-normal tissue (9,562 CpG loci p < 0.01). Hypomethylated loci in ipsilateral normal relative to contralateral were significantly enriched for breast cancer-relevant transcription factor binding sites including those for ESR1, FoxA1, and GATA3. Hypermethylated loci in ipsilateral-normal relative to contralateral-normal tissue were significantly enriched for CpG island shore regions.

Project description:The retinal projection neurons, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), can be categorized into distinct morphological and functional subtypes and by the laterality of their projections. Here, we used a new method for purifying the sparse population of ipsilaterally projecting RGCs in mouse retina from their contralaterally-projecting counterparts during embryonic development through rapid retrograde labeling followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Through microarray analysis, we have uncovered the distinct molecular signatures that define and distinguish ipsilateral and contralateral RGCs during the critical period of axonal outgrowth and decussation, with over three hundred genes differentially experienced within these two cell populations. Amongst the genes upregulated in ipsilateral RGCs are many that are known to be expresed in progenitors cells and mark “immaturity," including Math5 (Atoh7), Sox2, and cyclin D2. Many of these differentially regulated genes were subsequently validated via in vivo expression analysis. Thus, the molecular signatures of ipsilateral and contralateral RGCs and the mechanisms that regulate their differentiation are more diverse than previously expected.

Project description:The spinal cord receives inputs from the cortex via corticospinal neurons (CSNs). While predominantly a contralateral projection, a less-investigated minority of its axons terminate in the ipsilateral spinal cord. We analyzed the spatial and molecular properties of these ipsilateral axons and their post-synaptic targets in mice and found they project primarily to the ventral horn, including directly to motor neurons. Barcode-based reconstruction of the ipsilateral axons revealed a class of primarily bilaterally-projecting CSNs with a distinct cortical distribution. The molecular properties of these ipsilaterally-projecting CSNs (IP-CSNs) are strikingly similar to the previously described molecular signature of embryonic-like regenerating CSNs. Finally, we show that IP-CSNs are spontaneously regenerative after spinal cord injury. The discovery of a class of spontaneously regenerative CSNs may prove valuable to the study of spinal cord injury. Additionally, this work suggests that the retention of juvenile-like characteristics may be a widespread phenomenon in adult nervous systems. This TRAP sequencing data was used to determine the molecular similarity to regenerating and embryonic CSNs.

Project description:The hypothesis tested was that the uterine environment of lactating cows would affect conceptus gene expression. Approximately 65-75 days post-partum (dpp) the estrous cycles of non-lactating (dried off immediately post partum: n=12) and lactating (n=13) cows were synchronized and on Day 7 a high quality blastocyst derived from superovulated heifers was transferred. A control group of maiden heifers (n=8) were synchronized, inseminated to a standing heat and slaughtered on the same day as non-lactating and lactating recipients (Day 19; estrus=Day 0). The ipsilateral uterine horn was flushed with 10 ml PBS and the conceptus, when present, and uterine luminal fluid (ULF) snap frozen in liquid nitrogen prior to analysis. Gene expression analysis of the conceptus was performed by RNA sequencing analysis while amino acid (aa) composition of ULF was determined by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Eight differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between conceptuses recovered from non-lactating cows versus heifers while 269 DEGs (100 up-regulated and 169 down-regulated) were identified between conceptuses recovered from lactating cows compared to heifers. The aa, alanine, glycine, serine and threonine, arginine, leucine and valine, were significantly lower in abundance in ULF recovered from heifers compared to both non-lactating or lactating cows. Glutamic acid, glutamine and lysine concentrations were lowest in heifers compared to both cow groups. This study demonstrates that exposure of a grade one embryo to a uterine environment that has been exposed to the metabolic stresses associated with lactation modifies the transcriptome of the conceptus and aa composition of the ULF.

Project description:We investigated differential gene expression profiles of endometrium during the mid-luteal phase of the estrous cycle between repeat breeding (RB) and normally fertilized cows using microarray analysis. Caruncular (CAR) and intercaruncular (ICAR) endometrium of both ipsilateral and contralateral uterine horns to the corpus luteum were collected from RB (inseminated at least three times but not pregnant) and normally fertile cows on Day 15 of the estrous cycle. Global gene expression profiles of these endometrial samples were analyzed with a 15K custom-made oligo-microarray in cattle. Microarray analysis revealed that 405 and 397 genes were differentially expressed in CAR and ICAR of the ipsilateral uterine horn of RB, respectively when compared with normal cows. In contralateral uterine horn, 443 and 257 differentially expressed genes were identified in the CAR and ICAR of RB, respectively when compared with normal cows. In the analysis of whole uterine (combining the above four portions), RB cows showed up-regulation of 37 genes including PRSS2, GSTA3, PIPOX, CNGA1 and IGG1C and down-regulation of 39 genes including CHGA, KRT35, THBS4, CPXM2 and PRF1 compared with normal cows. Our results may suggest that local regulation of molecular mechanisms in each uterine portion contributes to normal uterine physiology.

Project description:The present studies tested the hypothesis that the elongating ovine conceptus and uterus produces EVs with the potential to mediate conceptus-maternal communication during early pregnancy. In Study One, EVs were purified from uterine luminal fluid (ULF) of day 14 cyclic sheep. The EVs were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 dye and infused into the uterine lumen of pregnant sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. In Study Two, day 14 conceptuses were cultured ex vivo for 24 hours and found to release EVs into the culture medium. Isolated EVs from conceptuses were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 and infused into the uterine lumen of cyclic sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. No evidence of EV escape from the uterine lumen was observed by analysis of the ovary and other maternal tissues. Proteomics analysis of the day 14 conceptus-derived EVs identified 231 proteins that were enriched for extracellular space and several protein classes including proteases, protease inhibitors, chaperones and chaperonins. RNA-sequencing of day 14 conceptus-derived EVs detected expression of 512 mRNAs. The top expressed genes were overrepresented in ribosomal functions and components. These studies support the ideas that EVs emanate from both the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia and are involved in intercellular communication during the establishment of pregnancy. Transcriptional profiles from day 14 conceptus extracellular vesicles isolated from 24 hour conceptus-conditioned culture media (n=3) were generated by sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:This study relates to pregnancy outcome after assisted reproduction of fertility-classified cattle. The aim is to investigate how the uterine environment impacts and programs conceptus survival and development. The study found that ripple effects of dysregulated conceptus-endometrial interactions elicit post-elongation pregnancy loss in subfertile animals during the implantation period.
